I'm a retired forester; for a number of years, photography was my hobby. Now I am very pleased to be able to call myself a semi-professional landscape photographer!

My first camera, way back in 1966, was an Exa Exacta, with a Vivitar 135 mm telephoto lens. It was a very basic, inexpensive 35 mm camera, with only manual controls – no light meter, no autofocus, none of the accessories we find on today’s ‘basic’ cameras!  And it used film.

Several years ago, I switched to digital photography, and started out with a Minolta Maxxum 7D SLR. Later, I changed over to a Canon EOS 400D, and even later, upgraded to an EOS 450D.

As mentioned, I'm a landscape photographer - 'shooting' at things of interest in the world around me - such as plants, wetlands, interesting buildings, and our Oregon beaches. However, the list doesn't include subjects like portraits, event photography, and food photography :-) (I can recommend some folks who specialize in those kinds of photos). Both HDR photography and using my extension tubes for closeup photos have been a great deal of fun lately! Once in a while, I hang some photos in a gallery, and usually set up a booth at the Art & Air Festival; I've also put together a coffee-table book of my black & whites at blurb.com.

My photos are available as prints, printed on my Epson SP 7800, using Epson papers and inks. Please view the Service page for more information.
